_______________________________________________________

- The "Woodknot Forest" Area -

Battle Strategies
- Follow Tutorials as you go on to learn the basics.
- Practice basic attacks, "longer is better", do "Perfects", and use Crit Gems.

Intro to Skills
- Too bad we can't select or equip auto attack skills, and they are used randomly in battle. Example, we can't manipulate Potions Attacks to just do Healing, because sometimes it will randomly throw Poison or Molotov. Poison can't be skipped, and Molotov is a must have to open one of the best Skill Powers in the game.
- Just learn all skills as you go on, it's ok.

What are Skull Gems? (Crit Gems)
- Crit Gems provide you with bonus damage. Bonus damage increases every time your gem line touches the side of the Crit Gem. The more sides of the Crit gem that your gem line touches, the more damage that you do (the Skull's eyes opens wider).

How to Get "PERFECTS"!?
- Get a "Perfect" by swiping 5 or more gems without missing any, for a bonus damage. Example: Select and connect a group of Blue Gems, but make sure that there are no unconnected Blue Gem/s around that group.

Intro to Items (Shop Items)
- Note: Just by purchasing or owning an item will give you all of its Stats, so the more items you buy or own, the better because all stats from those items will determine your overall Stats.
- Equipping an item is just for "looks", so feel free customize your Character the way you want.

Stats Building Guide

- Buy all items with Heart (❤ +?) bonuses, to increase and maintain a higher Max Health at your current level, then buy all other items without a Heart bonus once you reach the top most area.

- Personally, I prefer this option because you'll get higher Max Health, thus better survivability compared to other Characters around same Lvl. Attack Stats should still be good since you are purchasing more advanced items than the usual method.
- Note: Damage outputs are purely based from your performance ("dissolving Gems").
- Always Remember: Start purchasing the items you want, once you have enough Gold. At higher levels, look for Health items that is best for your current Gold.

Leveling Guide (For More Stats)Continue and always complete the nearest red spots from your current position, except for some Boss stages later on though because you can do them later if you want. Some red stages will require you to beat them a number of times, just battle them again and again till you get the required item or number of fights (?/?).
- Complete Hide and Seek quests to increase your Lvl, Stats, and to open up future Boss Fights.

What Are Caged Gems? (Chains)
- Some gems are covered by chains, making them unusable. Use Gems beside the cages to break them. You can see how strong a chain is by the number remaining on the chain. Once the chain is broke you can use the gem trapped beneath it.

Intro to Powers! (Talents) Quest #22: Darth Hater (Power: Combo Master)
- You will get your first Power once you defeat Darth Hater.
- To equip a Power, go to your Character Page, the icon (far left) on the bottom navigation bar. Select View Powers, then find the unlocked Power. Put a check mark on it then hit "SAVE" below,don't forget to hit Save or else it won't work.
- Unlock more Powers as you go on, and use them to your strategies. You can equip up to 4 Powers at the same time, and you can edit them from the world map or during battle.

What Are Rocks? (Stones)
- Use Gems beside them to break them up, Three hits will smash them to dust.

Before entering the next area, make sure you have completed all stages here, including side quests. Check the shop if all items you prefer are purchased.

_______________________________________________________

- The "Dragon Peak" Area -

Battle Strategies
- Start Practicing your new Power (Combo Master), but as much as possible, only chain 4 or more Gems, otherwise stick to the "longer is better" strategy. Focus more on your Tetraphobia Power once you get it.

Quest #47: Dreadwing's Lair (Power: Tetraphobia)
- Immune to all Weapon Attacks (Red Gems)
- Complete Quest #32 first to get the Defense Potion Skill, to help you survive these boss battles.
- Strategy: Use all other Gems first, only clear a long series of Red Gems if you don't have any other Gems to dissolve. Dissolve potions for a chance to get a Defense Up.
- If you can't complete this, advance and buy more items, especially Health + items.

- Congratulations, you now have a powerful skill to use!, make sure you equip it.
- You can unlock this Power's awesome damage after your 3rd turn, here's an example: 1st Turn: [Red], 2nd turn: [Blue], 3rd turn: [Green], then 4th turn: [Potions] From here on including Potions, you will get a huge bonus damage or healing! Your 5th turn should be [Red] again, then [Blue], and so on. If you can master this skill, the game would become easier.

- Chain 3 or more Gems each, it's ok, the output would still be high!
- You can interchange the series of Gems above as long that the Gem that you will dissolve next is not the same from your previous turn or turns. Always remember your pattern, if it's broken, start again.

What Are Slimes?
- Slime reduces the damage you can do if a Gem with a slime is used. Use them still to clear the slimes, possible up to 3 layers. This is not a problem though if you are using Tetraphobia.

Quest #53: Corpsefang Lair (Power: Critical Bit)
- Immune to all Pet Attacks (Green Gems)
- Strategy: Similar to Quest #47 above. Equip and Save new Power after the fight.

Quest #55: The Dragon King (Power: Beast Master)
- What Are Lava Levels?
- When lava covers a line of gems, they become unusable until you push the Lava down. There are 3 ways to lower the lava level: Get a "Perfect", use a Crit Gem, or attack using 7 or more Gems.
- After the fight equip and save your 4th Power.

After the boss fight above, you will now need to get 3 Golden Keys in order to unlock the new area, refer to the Golden Keys section at the top of this guide for more info on how to get them.
- If you want to wait instead, use your Energy for PVP or Gold farming. Save your Gold to buy the items you want later.

_______________________________________________________

- The "Deathly Hollow" Area -

Battle Strategies
- Just focus on your Tetraphobia Power, this will help you a lot vs slime stages. Combo Master is situational, but don't forget.

Quest #88: Lord of the Undead (Power: It Takes Two)
- "It Takes Two" is better if you are only using 2 types of Gems, it would be useless if you are using Tetraphobia so I don't recommend it. Gather more Powers then experiment with this Power at later levels if you want.

Quest #140: It's Your DUST-iny (Power: Tetraphobia)
- Not sure if it's an upgrade for Tetraphobia, anyways just take it.

Quest #154: Ruler of the Sands (Power: Arsenal)
- Gather more Powers then experiment with this Power at later levels if you want.

_______________________________________________________

- The "FantAsia" Area -

Battle Strategies
- Same as above...

Quest #187: Shenlong the Dragon (Power: Master of Strategy)
- Master of Strategy is a nice addition to increase Tetraphobia.

- Once you are done here, earn and prioritize items with more than 3 Heart (❤ +?) bonuses, buy other items with less than 4 Heart bonuses later if you have extra Gold. Items with no Heart bonus should be bought after reaching the top most area to keep your Health high around your level.

- If you are having trouble with Quest #242: Aqua Bat Attack or any side stages around here, you may skip it for now, come back when you have the "Unbreakable" Power at Quest #226 and with better Max Health (buy more Health items).

Quest #226: Release the Braken (Power: Unbreakable)
- The description is somewhat a bit off, but anyway, this Power will give you Health overtime and it will go on as long that your enemy hits you. If you massively Heal yourself, you can also get a high regeneration rate!
- Equip and Save: [Tetraphobia], [Arcanist], [Arcane Feedback], and [Unbreakable].

Quest #253: The Mega-Braken (Power: Chemical Warfare)
- Gather more Powers then experiment with this Power at later levels if you want.

Quest #404: Party Time (Power: Untamable)
- Untamable is actually a pretty nice Power for Tetraphobia users, because it's effect can greatly help you dissolve the Gems you need for the combos, plus, the trigger chance is also good.
- I would still recommend Steel Skin this time though, because monsters around this level can really hit you hard.

Quest #418: Who Stole the Chalice? (Power: Vampire Strike)
- Gather more Powers then experiment with this Power at later levels if you want.
